Im an intermediate developer (38 year old; 65k; 4yoe; Java + JavaScript ) who thinks he doesnt live up to his full potential. Instead of complaining and pity myself (like i did in my previous thread) I’m now committed to take action. Everyday I’ll solve at least 1 Leetcode problem Consistently for 1 year . By then I’ll have solved about 365 problems. Then I’ll apply to google. And i will get in! You’ll be my witness that I’ll pull it through. My leetcode handle: googlegerhardt HTTPS://leetcode.com/googlegerhardt/ #commitment
did you take into account you might start to forget some you may have learnt a few months back? or is your brain a persistent memory!
By the time you reach 100th problem you will be able to solve more than 1 problem a day. Best of luck!
Good luck!
I would say at least 4 a day and revisit the important ones constantly. Shorten the duration is a good idea for motivation and memory.
Good work! Start reading eng blogs and books as well for arch interviews!
What are „arch interviews“?
Architecture
After one week I consistently solved at least one task per day. Most of them easy/medium ones. Only made one hard problem so far. I still think I can improve on leetcoding. But I'll get there. Now, 3 more weeks and it will become a habit. And 6 more months and I should see significant progress. At most 1 year and I'll apply to Google or die trying.... https://leetcode.com/googlegerhardt/ (I changed my blind handle)
Good going!
Damn ... I can't login to my account anymore. Google needs 3-5 days to reset. So, no leetcoding. But I solved about 3 problems each day.
Finally I can access leetcode again. Even though i was solving problems I couldn't submit them in the last two days. That means there are now two days gaps. But it doesn't matter to me. I'll start from the very start again.
Keep it up dude! Everything ever worth doing was done one day at a time.
